It is conveniently located close to the Grassmarket and the Royal Mile, both of which offer an excellent array of restaurants, bars, and independent shops. At the end of the street, Castle Terrace hosts the award-winning Edinburgh Farmers' Market every Saturday.

Some of Edinburgh's finest academic institutions are within easy reach, with the Edinburgh College of Art and University of Edinburgh just a short walk away. In addition, the catchment offers access to the highly regarded secondary schools of James Gillespie and St Thomas of Aquin's, ranked in the top twenty state schools in Scotland.

Set on the top-floor flat of a handsome, B-Listed, traditional tenement in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, this impressive four-bedroom home commands outstanding views of Edinburgh Castle and enjoys a truly unrivalled, city setting.
This desirable home offers spacious, airy rooms while retaining period features with a modern and contemporary styling.
Accessed via a shared entrance and a traditional stairwell to the third floor, the front door opens into a wide reception hall, offering a wonderful first impression. This home's interior space further benefits from lofty ceilings and traditional timber accents. At the end of the hall, a spacious reception room enjoys excellent proportions and is fronted by twin sash-and-case windows. Ample room is available for an array of configurations for lounge and dining furniture, creating an elegant, relaxed setting for everyday living and entertaining. Further along is a spacious breakfasting kitchen, which comes complete with a range of cream cabinets with timber worktops and provides additional space for a cooker, a dishwasher and a tall fridge/freezer.

A small laundry room provides excellent storage space and provides plumbing and electrics for a washing machine and condenser dryer. Two further capacious storage spaces are accessed from the hallway and reception room.
Located at the front of the flat and taking full advantage of a southeast-facing aspect are three double bedrooms.
Whilst the main bedroom benefits from king-sized proportions, the remaining two bedrooms provide generous space for both bedroom and home office furnishings. Peacefully rear-set, and commanding breath-taking views of Edinburgh Castle, a second reception room does not disappoint in terms of dimensions. Currently arranged as a family room, the versatile space could alternatively represent a further, airy king-sized bedroom.
